Dear Barb,

Your post is part of a compassionate side that will perpetuate this list.
Of course we will always have the sarcasm or emotional reactions that are a
part of everyday life.  And at times they may be warrented.  However, it is
true that we have a choice in how we respond.  We may be defensive or might
be just having one of the awful mood swings that everyone has but with PD it
is moodswings to a higher degree.    That does not mean we can't repond
without making it personal.

I know I am an idealist at times, but if anyone can tell me why they can't
try to not make personal attacks on someone stating an opinion or
conjecture, I would like to hear their side of it.  Because, I find it hard
to believe that  issues solely were at the root of the statement made.  In
fact, the response seemed to be from a person whom had contempt building
inside from previous posts.  That is not an uncommon occurrence in my
opinion.  And althougn a person may misstate something he thought was true,
one can respond to the mistatement and not the person. I am not going to say
any more on the subject.(It's about time he got off his soap box!)

Regards,
Greg Leeman
